Flottweg Separation Technology will Highlight Decanter, Tricanter, and Sedicanters to produce Ethanol and High Value co-products at FEW 2024

Flottweg designs and manufactures specialized whole stillage decanter centrifuges, along with the Sedicanters® and Tricanters®, to meet the needs of the ethanol industry. This cutting-edge equipment will be discussed at FEW 2024, June 10-12, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Whole stillage processing - basically, spent grain. Liquid goes to evaporation; solids go to dryer or get sold wet. Mostly corn, approximately 90%. Milo (sorghum) is also used. Corn oil - Upon leaving an evaporator (or in between evaporator stages), the concentrated syrup goes through a tricanter, which separates water, oil, and solids. Most of the time the solids and syrup get mixed back together. The tricanter has much less downtime than a separator and thus, produces a more consistent long-term processing result. In a disc stack machine, process results are good at the very beginning and gradually deteriorate as the underside of the discs foul. Cleaning is required much more often and is very labor-intensive on the disc stack units. Typically extra units are required due to downtime and maintenance is more extensive.
Flottweg is a Silver Level Sponsor and can be found on the FEW tradeshow floor at Booth #937.
